[QUOTE="Silveras, post: 1275402, member: 6271"] [b]Conversion - A Magical Medieval Society[/b] This one was not too difficult, in some ways. The big challenge was that MMS:WE does not use any kind of "province" breakdown - it works in terms of square miles of area. So, I had to determine the square mile area of each province on the map. That was made easier by my using Visio to map in the first place. An add-in tool in Visio reports the area of shape (in the units of your choice). Since I had made each province its own shape, it was just a matter of taking the area of each shape in square inches and multiplying by 900 (square miles at 30 miles to the inch). That process took me a couple of days (290 provinces; good thing I had them all mapped beforehand {2 months for that}). I decided that the best way to adjust the provinces for flavor was to vary the Population Density figure based on conditions and history. It took me about a day and a half to come up with the right mix of conditions and events, and another day to work up the numbers so that they felt right. If you are curious, you can find a 7-page PDF on how to do it on the Expeditious Retreat Community Support page, along with some great extras from other people. With those numbers already available, it took me about 5 minutes to fill in the Excel sheet for Kharith. However, information on the Kingdom level in AMMS:WE is very much based on averages, to it all calculates out for you. The result of that is that you may not have as much control over variations as you might like. Attached here is the Barony of Kharith in notation based on AMMS:WE. [/QUOTE]
